Basically the Wardens in Legends Arceus 

Without a doubt it’s been a total joy to see the wider Pokémon community embrace and love Ingo. From his iconic appearances in the anime, to his antics in masters, and his endearing role here I just can’t get enough of this man.

I haven't played PLA myself, but I've watched a few other people play it, and I've gotta say that I like how Ingo's battles are so... traditional? Like he's the only one that battles one-on-one out of all the wardens that I've seen, where the other wardens just send out all their pokemon at once. It ties back to how he's from a time with different battling standards, and he's just doing what he subconsciously remembers.

If you zoom in on Gaeric's chest, the outline of the Pearl Clan crest has a sort of fuzzy texture. It's gotta be his chest hair lol

I legit screamed when Ingo was revealed in game. First I’m thinking the train bros got an ancestor too. Then I realize the hat and coat don’t belong in that time. Then comes the cave. That’s when it clicked that Ingo was the same Ingo from B&W. Poor Emmett. Losing Ingo had to have all but gutted him inside.

Really hoping we can see Emmet in the future, looking for his brother. Maybe in the S/V dlc where he tries using the time machine for it.

The more mature gym leaders have been made into kids into this gen which I find hilarious.

Today I learn Ingo looks exactly like a LEGO figure.

I feel like I like the Diamond Clan more in general but the Pearl Clan manages to even it out by having Ingo and Melli losing his clan massive points. I also really like what they did with Adaman and Irida with one being very friendly from the start and the other slowly warming up to you over time as you prove yourself and help them out. Really made it hard to choose which clan leader I wanted to adventure with to the lake guardians.

This game's a year old and I STILL haven't beaten it yet. I just enjoy the side stuff that much. Also I wonder if this Ingo will be alive long enough to witness the first trains being invented.

3:18 He looks like Karen, the Indigo League Dark type trainer. Just look at the hair- it starts off light and gets progressively darker, and is of very similar coloration.

Hahaha the 🙏😔 when you talk about arezu's tights. Most relatable part of any of your videos lol.

There’s fan art of Emmet finding Ingo’s clothes in a museum. We need more on this story!!!

So my first reaction to seeing Nemona being revealed was “Adaman descendant???” Also on a far more possible level, Melli could be Penny’s ancestor. Smiling down upon her every time she ratios someone on Twitter

I’m a simple person, I see Arezu in the thumbnail, I click.

Shout out to Melli! He’s the worst. But that’s what makes him the best! He’s so funny and dumb! Honestly probably my favorite character to come out of this game!

I Think Meli could be the ancestor of Wallace from Hoenn: First off thier poses in their official art (ORAS Wallace) are pretty similar, both leaning a bit and having one arm streched out (and in opposite directions). Also imo, their faces and expressions look a bit identical. However, Wallace's other arm is behind his head and his arms are split apart to show he is chill and kind. Meanwhile, Melli's hand in on his chest and his legs are together to show he is igotistical and rude. Also, His hair kinda looks like the green milotic like stripes wallace wears on his ORAS outfit. As an added bonus, your analisis of his hair ending in shapes of waves and tails, furthermore adding on that it's a bluish purple fits wallace's milotic and his water type specialty. *AND ON TOP OF EVERYTHING* , Melli's good singing voice could be a slight nod to how elegant & flamboyant wallace is and how in the core game and anime he is seen to have a connection to contests I don't know if im the first person to think he is wallace's ancestor, but no matter that I am confident he is

The Pearl and Diamond Clan have legendary designs. They have so many nods to past characters without just having them be just be a copy but even them with them making them their own characters. It really Inigo?!?! He’s bald… bald… bald… I saw Meli with a bit of Wallace. Maybe it’s the poses?

Sabi might also be an ancestor to Caitlin from Pokemon Platinum? Caitlin has psychic abilities, and she even wears the same big hat when she grows up in the Gen5 games.

Personally I am of the head-canon that Melli isn’t the ancestor to anyone as I refuse to believe anyone willing got with him

Melli just gives me MASSIVE Harley vibes from the hoenn anime. THEY ACT THE SAME! That’s why I love Melli so much, he just a narcissist bastard like Harley.

Legends: Arceus is one of the best Pokemon games they have ever released, the Lore, the People, the Story, it was amazing. I really, really hope we get another Legends game in the near future.

It’s a pity we will likely never know if Ingo returned to his present time.

Ever since I saw Adaman I kid you not I was like “Oof who is this man and how can I be part of his group”. When it came time to pick it wasn’t even a competition who I was gonna pick. I love his design sm and he’s hot lmao.

Im surprised that most people don't realize that garrick is related to wulfric

I started in black and white, so I felt amazing when I saw ingo

I can’t believe it’s already been a whole year since these games came out. By far one of my top Pokémon games

Another nod to descendants is Gaeric. I think that good chance his descendant would be Wulfric, the gen 6 gym leader. Gaeric looks almost like a younger version of Wulfric. Wulfric also has Avalugg as an ace, while Gaeric looks over Hisuian Avalugg

Melli is Penny's ancestor, you can see it in their eyes, as well as the fact that Melli was actually really shy as a child, as revealed in the Daybreak DLC, just like Penny is in Scarlet and Violet.

my toxic trait is melli being my favorite warden

Love these analysis you've put together for the wardens. PLA really is a gem of a Pokémon game we were blessed with, and I'm happy we're still getting content from the game to this day! 😊

I really hate Melli. So much. I wanted to feed him to the raging Dialga at the end 🤣

I know fears are usually irrational anyway, but here's also a rationale for BUILT Iscan being scared of Ghost Pokemon. Have you ever tried punching a Ghost type?

One other thing to note about Arezu is that her leggings being a gradient from top to bottom like that matches the gradient pattern on Hisuian Lilligant

2:54 logical error, he is fishing with a west gastrodon when he lives in the east

Happy Anniversary, Legends Arceus! 🥳 🎉🎉 Edit: I went back on the game for the nostalgia and found a SHINY HISUIAN ZORUA! ✨😍🤩✨

I think it's funny how people still haven't figured out that Meli is the ancestor to swordbert and shieldbert from Sword and Shield. Here* are the clues in order from least convincing to dead giveaway: his funny appearance, his face, his personality and most notably the whiteout-eye thing the brothers do whenever they were in disbelief. They're the only characters that ever did that

Melli to me strikes me a the simultaneous ancestor of Klara and Avery. He perfectly blends motifs from both, and is even a Poison specialist like Klara.

I think Meli is the ancestor of Klara and Avery form Galar’s Isle of Armor DLC. That’s why it’s hard to pinpoint his descents, he’s the ancestor of two very different looking characters. Meli’s hair is both straight AND curly, plus it’s oddly coloured AKA is a mix of both Avery AND Klara. Meli has a good singing voice and uses Poison Type Pokemon like Klara. Meli is quite lanky/long like Avery and has his face shape/jaw, not only that but thanks to Sabe we know psychic powers are running around in the Diamond Clan gene pool somewhere. Not to mention all three have that rancid personality we all know and love / love to hate! I’m just saying,I feel it makes sense.

The Diamond and Pearl Clan was both interesting and hoping we see more clans in later Pokemon Legends games like imagine a Golden Clan to represent Ho-oh and Silver Clan to represent Lugia.

Time to take a shot everytime Gator says "contrast"

Iscan is the big huggable bear of this game. Big strong man, very capable, very sweet, and afraid of his own shadow

I love the designs and personalities of all of them. Man, I think I will hop into Legends Arceus to play some more after watching this video. My second favorite Pokemon game for me.

You should do a video talking about the trainer classes in all the Pokemon games to see how some changed or got added.

Melli I think is an ancestor to shieldbert and swordward.

I think Meli is the ancestor to James, same hair colour and flamboyance. James holds a rose and meli has some other flower motives on him.

This may or may not be a strange question, but do you have any background or interest in art/design GatorEX? Asking cause I like to draw and I INSTANTLY fell in love w your work due to how insightful and trained your eyes are for details, motifs, color theory, etc. I learn SO much from your character design breakdowns I deadass take notes sometimes lol either way keep being amazing and I hope you're doing good!

3:24 I've seen the idea of him being Penny's ancestor. Because of the eyelashesand hair color

I honestly loved all the characters of Legends Arceus so much. Usually when I play a Pokémon game there’s one character, or a group of characters I latch on to, but I loved every single character from Legends Arceus individually for just being uniquely good characters in there own right.

man, if only Beni, Sanqua, and the rest of Galaxy Expedition Team have their own official artwork... these details on poses are one of my favorite aspect in Pokémon characters

While I don’t know if we get the perfect ending for Ingo and Emmet(especially with that line Sada made about time traveling to the past) but I think we will at least get closure for the two in some form. A temporary reunion. While it be Emmet temporarily time traveling to the past or Ingo’s ghost in the present(there’s basically a ghost person each Gen but it be cool if not only we knew this ghost but if we battled said ghost), or even if it’s just Emmet learning of Hisui and seeing his brother’s accomplishments of being warden or running the training grounds with that bittersweet feeling that he never got to see it himself. There also many theories Emmet will play a bigger role such as being sent in the future, being in the SV DLC, being the next major villian that’s trying to bring Ingo back, or my personal favorite, him being the champion of a Black and White 3 in order to be able to research more of what happened. Given the two are popular characters and Ingo’s story didn’t really end, it be cool to see Emmet’s side and for the two to have some sort of closure like other tragic figures like AZ, the Aether Family, or Arven

Sabi is a small bean(ie) *noice*

One thing I really like is that the Diamond clan has a lot of embroidery, while the Pearl clan uses more additional accessories. I wonder if that's because of the time embroidery takes, and the accessories taking up more space

Nice video ! Is there any particular reason for you choosing to show the french PLA trailer or was it just cool ?

6:17 kalaba is Mina’s ancestor I will die on this hill

I still haven’t finished Arceus. I got stuck at the part where I had to make a decision between the Diamond and Pearl clans, and their characters r both so good that I just can’t decide.

a theory i have is that melee is the ancestor of tulip

gaeric having the pearl clan sign as chest hair is the most cursed thing about this game

Tough choice between Sabi and Arezu. Before any suggestions I might have (such as Vessa, exclusive to the Spiritomb thingy, plus you did want to revisit Spiritomb), reviewing the Gingko Guild members plus the Galaxy guys first seems more plausible.

Hear. Me. Out.

"You are no match for my stand Jody, Broken Built Beauty Baby is the ultimate reality bending Stand!"

Adaman is legit the hottest character design Pokemon has ever made and I'm all in for it

1:53 😦Beef cake!!!! Dang, she got it! 🤤

Melli’s face and personality somewhat remind me of Sordward and Sheilbert

I think Meli is the ancestor of Harley from the Pokemon anime. I have no evidence for this except that they both have long purple hair and a tendency towards flamboyance.

I think melli is the ancestor to karen, they just look similar.

2:22 Very important information

3:40 at first I was a little stumped on who he might be the ancestor to but after thinking about it for a while I think Eresu is the ancestor to James. Both have blue hair that goes down (James is much shorter obviously). Both are flamboyant in their style, clothing, and personality. And both get in the way of the main character with James being a team rocket member & eresu being stubborn and not seeing the main character as worthy.

Millo is the ancestor of Lucian

YEEEESS! Legends: Arceus was my first Pokemon game.

1:40 Brapzu my beloved

It just clicked while watching this video, Melli is the ancestor of Penny! Same hair colour and face/eyeshape

3:23 meli looks like harley from the hoen anime, who is a coordinator and uses a cacturne and has the same personality as meli, i think he only apeared in the anime

Sabi is actually an ancestor of both Cheryl and one other character, Caitlin. I don't know how so many poketheorists missed the similarities between the two. From the hair, the big hat, the psychic powers, it's too good to be a coincidence. Most theorists always compare Sabi to Hapu, but never Caitlin. Lian could also be Roark's ancestor. But the only similarities I could find are the red hair, the love for ores, and the fact that Liam is one of the first wardens you'll face, kinda like Roark being the first gym leader.

Irina looks like mays ancestor

I hope Ingo and the player get to go home at some point :')

Goated game

I think mellis suposed 2 be the ancestor of Karen the dark member of Johtos League 4

SUPER NICE

I haven’t played PLA because of the questionable battle system but Black and White were one of my first ever games as a kid. I get the idea of having fallers because of the Ultra Wormholes/ Ultimate Weapon in X and Y but just why of all characters did it have to be Ingo :( I just can’t help but feel for Emmet he must be devastated he lost his brother.

2:22 *_Reject Modernity_* *_Return To Tomboy_* Sneaky, but not a bad idea either

Arezu is the best 🥵

Arezu is also built. 🙏

I joined the diamond clan only for Arezu cause I love her

Wait… is Melli Atticus’s ancestor? (Similar in Pokemon type, brow/eyes, and dramatics) 🤔 He also has part of Penny’s hair color and eyes… so it’s still hard to tell.

Where can I find the concept arts of the caracthers in Legends Arceus ??

Irida is definitely best leader, she's just adorable, though the fact she can be in an icy landscape and complain about being too hot is really something.

Ingo joestar

I could very well be mistaken but perhaps melli is related to fantina? The hair colour and lengths look comparable

I just realized Melli might be related to Karen

I’ve see some people speculate that Melli and Penny may be related due to having similar eye shapes. Melli’s eyes, while similar to Penny’s are quite different. Melli had a distinct light pupil/shine, and they are completely different colours. In addition to this during several cut scenes in SV, and in her full trainer art card in the tcg, Penny is shown with her eyes fully open, implying her usual, heavy lidded look is more due to her expression than her actual eye shape. The fact that they share no other physical qualities (Penny is very short and the offical PLA guide reveals Melli extremely tall. In the range of 7ft), or colours, pokemon teams, or design elements, and the fact that Penny is of Galarian Heritage while Melli is implied to be of Sinnoh/Kalos heritage makes it even more unlikely that they are related.

With Scarlet-Violet, I believe adaman is Turo and arven’s ancestor, the time focus of the diamond clan with Turo The hair color and attitude for arven Also, the art makes me think that she’s Selena’s or Grace(Selena’s mom) ancestor

what if Melli is the ancestor for Wallace The hair could kinda resemble the things that Wallace has

I've always thought that Melli and Avery where related, maybe it's just me

Melli always reminded me of (100x worse version of) James. He has the blue hair! He’s even got the pose!

We need Legend of Kanto Legend Johto and Legend Of Hoenn. But they gotta add More features too it

I believe Melli looks like Karen

So like I'm just gonna say it Gaeric is hot, which makes sense as he's Wulfric's ancestor and Wulfric is also hot

Scarlet and Violet made me realize how good Legends Arceus was. I don’t dislike SV, but I don’t even want to finish the game.

Melli always struck me as being related to Wallace.

Melli is my favourite character
